[numerous names deleted] >> >Much of the *C* run-time in *any* language is non-reentrant, The OS world is moving towards multithreading, that is, multiple threads of execution sharing a single address space. Nor am I giving some kind of advance warning: this is in the field. Re-entrant libraries are necessary to make this work, so, that's out there too. Although I admit that the last time I multithreaded something, I was careful to have an "X" thread to do all the X-windows calls. -- Don D.C.Lindsay Carnegie Mellon Computer Science
